PanoramaWeb hosts a public repository called “Panorama Public” where users may submit supplementary data associated with manuscripts that have been published or are under review. The repository provides a permanent location for data that can be referenced in publications. Users with data in their own projects on PanoramaWeb can follow the instructions below to submit the data to Panorama Public. The PanoramaWeb site administrators will get in touch with the submitter and make a copy of the data to Panorama Public. If the data is for a manuscript under review, reviewer account details will be provided and the copy on Panorama Public will be kept private until the associated manuscript is accepted for publication. Data copied to Panorama Public is read-only, ensuring its availability in the original form accepted for publication.

Folders containing supplementary data intended for publication to Panorama Public have to be annotated with a description of the experiment. This includes information such as an abstract, experiment and sample descriptions, organism, MS instruments used etc. To add experiment annotations to a folder, do the following:

Go to the home page of the folder by clicking on the folder name under the Panorama logo.

Select Targeted MS Experiment from the <Select Web Part> menu at bottom-left of the page.

Click the Add button. This action will add a web part titled Targeted MS Experiment at the bottom of the page that looks like this:

Click the Create New Experiment link in the Targeted MS Experiment web part.

Fill out the Targeted MS Experiment form.

Click the Submit button at the bottom of the form.

You will be taken to the experiment details page. All the Skyline documents that were uploaded to the folder where you added the Targeted MS Experiment webpart will get added to the experiment and will appear in the Targeted MS Runs table. If your data is organized in subfolders under the main folder, you should click the Include Subfolders button shown in the image below.

STEP 3: Submit the annotated folder for publication

Navigate back to the folder home page by clicking on the folder name under the Panorama logo.

Scroll down, if you need to, so that you can see the Targeted MS Experiment box.

Click the red Publish button in the Targeted MS Experiment web part.

You will be presented with a form that looks similar to the one in the image below:

In the Publish Experiment form do the following:

Select “Panorama Public” from the drop-down list next to the Publish To option, if it is not already selected

Enter an Access Link

Click the Publish button

Access Link is the link that you will include in your manuscript to link to supplementary data on Panorama Public that can be viewed in a web browser. Initially, this link points to your folder on PanoramaWeb. But once a copy of your data has been made to Panorama Public, it will link to the location of the copied data on Panorama Public. This will be the permanent location of your supplementary data on Panorama Public.

The Publish Experiment form allows you to “build” these the access link. The initial part of the link remains constant: https://panoramaweb.org/labkey. You can choose a string to complete the link (highlighted in yellow below).

https://panoramaweb.org/labkey/choose_a_string.url

The initial value entered in the Access Linkfield is a randomly generated alphanumeric string. You can replace it with a convenient, easy to remember string. This string has to be unique across all the experiments published to Panorama Public. You may get an error if the link you entered is already in use for another experiment on Panorama Public. If this happens change the text in the access link field and try again.

When the form is submitted successfully you will be taken to the experiment details page.

In the Experiment Details box, just above the experiment title, you will see a “Copy Pending!” message. This message will disappear once your data has been copied to Panorama Public. Any changes that you make in the folder, such as adding/removing Skyline documents or wiki pages, or changing the layout of the page will also get copied when a copy is made to Panorama Public. At the bottom of the page, in the Publication Activity table, you will see the Access Linkthat you created for this experiment. The Copied column will be blank until a copy has been made successfully. Once the data has been copied this column will display the date when the data was copied. You will also receive an email informing you that the data was successfully copied to Panorama Public. At that point if you click on the value in the Access Link column you will be taken to the folder where your data was copied on Panorama Public and you can verify that the data, folder layout and views were copied accurately.
